Safety Precautions
To avoid personal injury, instrument damage and/or damage to your vehicle; do not use the U585 before reading this manual. This manual describes common test procedures used by experienced service technicians. Many test procedures require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in personal injury, and/or damage to your vehicle or test equipment. Always read your vehicle's service manual and follow its safety precautions before and during any test or service procedure. ALWAYS observe the following general safety precautions: When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide, a toxic and poisonous gas. To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, operate the vehicle ONLY in a well-ventilated area. To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot or caustic liquids, always wear approved safety eye protection. When an engine is running, many parts (such as the coolant fan, pulleys, fan belt etc.) turn at high speed. To avoid serious injury, always be aware of moving parts. Keep a safe distance from these parts as well as other potentially moving objects. Engine parts become very hot when the engine is running. To prevent severe burns, avoid contact with hot engine parts. Before starting an engine for testing or trouble-shooting, make sure the parking brake is engaged. Put the transmission in park (for automatic transmission) or neutral (for manual transmission). Block the drive wheels with suitable blocks. Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the ignition is ON can damage test equipment and the vehicle's electronic components. Turn the ignition OFF before connecting the U585 to or disconnecting the U585 from the vehicles Data Link Connector (DLC). To prevent damage to the on-board computer when taking vehicle electrical measurements, always use a digital multimeter with at least 10meg Ohms of impedance. Fuel and battery vapors are highly flammable. To prevent an explosion, keep all sparks, heated items and open flames away from the battery

and fuel / fuel vapors. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE VEHICLE DURING TESTING. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on an engine. Loose clothing can become caught in the fan, pulleys, belts, etc. Jewelry is highly conductive, and can cause a severe burn if it makes contact between a power source and ground.

U585
from 1 January 2003 for new types and from 1 January 2004 for all types, must be fitted with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system for emission control in accordance with Annex XI. Note that here "European Union" means countries which were members of the EU in 2003. Other vehicles If your vehicle does not fall into any of the above categories, look under the hood and try to locate a label (Fig. 1) that explicitly states that the vehicle was designed to comply with OBD-II legislation.

Fig. 1 - Vehicle Emission Control Information Label In this case, OBD-II is used as a general term and can mean any of the following: OBD II (California ARB) EOBD (European OBD) JOBD (Japanese OBD) You may also consult your vehicle's owner's manual and perhaps contact your local dealer. However, be aware of the fact that many dealers do not know the difference between OBD and OBD-II. If the vehicle is not OBD-II compliant, you cannot use a generic OBD-II scan tool such as U480 to obtain diagnostic information from your vehicle. But my car has the 16-pin OBD connector, shouldn't it be OBD-II compliant? No, not necessarily. A lot of European and Asian manufacturers equipped their vehicles with D-shaped 16-pin connectors long before they began installing OBD-II systems on those vehicles. One curious thing to note here is the fact that most non-EOBD compliant vehicles had a DLC that does not fully conform to SAE J1979. Compare figures 2 and 3, and notice the "ears" on the non-EOBD compliant Ford Focus.

Location - According to J1962,Type A DLC "shall be located in the passenger or driver's compartment in the area bounded by the driver's end of the instrument panel to 300 mm (~1 ft) beyond the vehicle centerline, attached to the instrument panel and easy to access from the driver's seat. The preferred location is between the steering column and the vehicle centerline."

Type B DLC "shall be located in the passenger or driver's compartment in the area bounded by the driver's end of the instrument panel, including the outer side, and an imagined line 750 mm (~2.5 ft) beyond the vehicle centerline. It shall be attached to the instrument panel and easy to access from the driver's seat or from the Co-drivers seat or from the outside. The vehicle connector shall be mounted to facilitate mating and unmating."

1. the trouble codes function read DTCs from the vehicle's computer modules there tow types of codes, Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) Codes and pending codes. MIL Codes: These codes cause the computer to illuminate the MIL when an emission related or driveability fault occurs. The MIL is also known as the service Engine Soon or Check Engine Lamp. MIL codes remain in the vehicles memory until the fault is repaired. 2.Pending Codes: These codes are also referred as continuous monitor and maturing codes. An intermittent fault will cause the computer to store a code in memory. If the fault does not occur within 40 warm-up cycles, the code will be cleared from memory.If the fault occurs a specific number of times,the code will mature into a DTC and the MIL will turn on. 3.Select Trouble codes and press ENTER, The U585 retrives the DTCs stored in the vehicle's computer modules.

Operation Instructions
1. Preparation for Testing
The U585 aids in monitoring electronic and emissions-related faults in your vehicle and retrieving fault codes related to malfunctions in these systems. Mechanical problems such as low oil level or damaged hoses, wiring or electrical connectors can cause poor engine performance and may also cause a false fault code. Fix any known mechanical problems before performing any test. See your vehicles service manual or a mechanic for more information. Check the following areas before starting any test: Check the engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid (if applicable), engine coolant and other fluids for proper levels. Top off low fluid levels if needed. Make sure the air filter is clean and in good condition. Make sure all air filter ducts are properly connected. Check the air filter ducts for holes, rips or cracks. Make sure all engine belts are in good condition. Check for cracked, torn, brittle, loose or missing belts. Make sure mechanical linkages to engine sensors (throttle, gearshift position, transmission, etc.) are secure and properly connected. See your vehicles service manual for locations. Check all rubber hoses (radiator) and steel hoses (vacuum/fuel) for leaks, cracks, blockage or other damage. Make sure all hoses are routed and connected properly. Make sure all spark plugs are clean and in good condition. Check for damaged, loose, disconnected or missing spark plug wires. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Check for corrosion or broken connections. Check for proper battery and charging system voltages. Check all electrical wiring and harnesses for proper connection. Make sure wire insulation is in good condition, and there are no bare wires. Make sure the engine is mechanically sound. If needed, perform a compression check, engine vacuum check, timing check (if applicable), etc.
